When you install the Windows Identity Foundation SDK, a development X509 certificate is installed on your local machine.
Interestingly enough, while most certificates are installed in the Personal certificate store, the STSTestCert certificate is actually installed in the Trusted People store.
If you ever used an earlier source code build of the STS Federation Metadata Editor http://stsmetadataeditor.codeplex.com/, you would notice that the list of Installed X509 Certificates that were displayed were from the Personal certificate store and therefore would not display the STSTestCert. Fortunately, the code has been changed and updated to load installed certificates from the Local Machine rather than just from the User store.
